As an experiment I would like to explore turning this plugin into something more generic that can generate metadata for both SPs and IdPs using Velocity templates. The existing metadagen shell script in the SP is something I’ve customized locally and use for a huge range of SP metadata requirements and I manage my IdP with it more or less. But it’s not Windows-compatible and it’s pretty ugly to maintain.

A replacement in Java has obvious advantages but one big drawback being ability to easily tweak and performance. Using Velocity could address the “tweak” side of this to some degree, but to fix the performance issues it would have to be “batchable” using command files that it would parse to obtain the options to run with.

For now, just playing around to see what might be possible.
